hm, why do a lot of people hate dx8 render? rather cool in spite of absence of sunset & interesting architectural buildings(everybody likes it);& great game(+mod)is better than just great graphics.
i like this screen, espesially this grass! no stupid green, the colour is quite complex.
P.S. great job, thx...

Its not about hate dude ... its about prefering higher quality graphics ...

I played stalker many times, but i never enjoyed it that much as when I played it with complete pack 2009.

I just want maximum from game... it is year 2010 directx 11 is out and I want look at paralax maping, HDR, FDL, Phong and rim lighting, ambient occlusion, depth of field blur, colour coretion and motionblur... Not static lighting and almost no shaders...

Thats why I dont play half-life 1 anymore or ghost recon 1, even when I love those games, I rather play Crysis, or Metro2033.

Dont you think I dont care about gameplay. Cod4 looks nice and I only played it 1x because there is nothing in single, It was aimed on multiplayer, which isnt priority for me. Or new aliens versus predator, amazing graphics but horrible gameplay. I didnt even finish that one.
Game play is something you eigther have or dont have in game, and when you do have it, than I care about graphisc which is much more tweakable !

Im the type of Player who turns game's settings on highest, even when that means that game will run on 20 FPS ... I want to enjoy beauty, because for me even that is part of atmosphere.

I want this mod so much that I donated 50€ so you know now that I love this one!

Im just saying that I will not enjoy it that much i DX8 as I would in DX9 (and Higher, which is impossible in this case)

So dont tell me that you dont like dinamic shadows while sunset, or wet surfraces and such.

I think that when you people say you love dx8 you lie to your self a bit =) no offence.

Its like you would try to tell me that you dont like chicks in MAXIM thats ******** =D

my thoughts are the same, & i agree with you, but i know a great quantity of people and they don't like dx8. and i try to understand why, i look at the screens & i like it...old videos are wonderful...
ps strange people)))

About the vegetation... t'was my dream to stalk a little bit in high grass or bushes (it's Stalker, isn't it?) so I like all the plants added. I like to visit some new locations, live new storyline and so on. I can do it in SDL or static. I just want the gameplay to be intense, but I'd like to wander a bit through the levels and make some nice screenshots too.

Killerangel asked about flowers, yes we still use them, but in much better way, they are smaller, better quality, and not as much of them, as it was in priboi story... i think some flowers here-and-there wont do anything bad :)
